Since their independence in 1991, the states of Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan) have become increasingly important as regional and international actors. They have joined the United Nations (UN) as well as regional organizations, such as the Commonwealth of Independent States (cis), the Collective Security Treaty Organization (csto), the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (sco), and the Eurasian Economic Union (eaeu). International law has played an important role in the processes of state-building and integration these countries have undergone, yet it has not always been consistently accepted as a policy tool and academic discipline. In particular, building a stable nexus between the practice of international law and academic research on the subject remains a challenge. This article provides an overview of Central Asian practices and doctrines of international law with a focus on international peace and security, international organizations, international environmental law, human rights, international humanitarian and criminal law, and international investment arbitration. It concludes with recommendations for more successful promotion and implementation of international law in the region.

自 1991 年独立以来，中亚国家（哈萨克斯坦、吉尔吉斯斯坦、塔吉克斯坦、土库曼斯坦和乌兹别克斯坦）作为区域和国际参与者变得越来越重要。他们加入了联合国 (UN) 以及区域组织，例如独立国家联合体 ( cis )、集体安全条约组织 ( csto )、上海合作组织 ( sco ) 和欧亚经济联盟 ( eaeu)). 国际法在这些国家经历的国家建设和一体化进程中发挥了重要作用，但它并不总是被一致接受为一种政策工具和学科。特别是，在国际法实践和该主题的学术研究之间建立稳定的联系仍然是一个挑战。本文概述了中亚的实践和国际法学说，重点是国际和平与安全、国际组织、国际环境法、人权、国际人道主义法和刑法以及国际投资仲裁。它最后提出了在该地区更成功地促进和实施国际法的建议。
